An Effective Method of Introducing the Periodic Table as a Crossword Puzzle at the High School Level
Peer reviewed
Direct linkJoag, Sushama D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
A simple method to introduce the modern periodic table of elements at the high school level as a game of solving a crossword puzzle is presented here. A survey to test the effectiveness of this new method relative to the conventional method, involving use of a wall-mounted chart of the periodic table, was conducted on a convenience sample. This…

Bottge, Brian A.; Rueda, Enrique; Kwon, Jung Min; Grant, Timothy; LaRoque, Perry – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2009
The purpose of this randomized experiment was to compare the performance of high-, average-, and low-achieving middle school students who were assessed with parallel versions of a computer-based test (CBT) or a paper-pencil test (PPT). Tests delivered in interactive, immersive environments like the CBT may have the advantage of providing teachers…

Michael Mendicino; Leena Razzaq; Neil T. Heffernan – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2009
This study compared learning for fifth grade students in two math homework conditions. The paper-and-pencil condition represented traditional homework, with review of problems in class the following day. The Web-based homework condition provided immediate feedback in the form of hints on demand and step-by-step scaffolding. We analyzed the results…

Hollenbeck, Keith; Twyman, Todd; Tindal, Gerald – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2006
This study investigated the score exchangeability of concept maps with problem-solving essays. Of interest was whether sixth-grade students' concept maps predicted their scores on essay responses that used concept map content. Concept maps were hypothesized to be alternatives to performance assessments for content-area domain knowledge in science.…

Semple, Brian McLean – 1992
The second International Assessment of Educational Progress focused on the mathematics and science achievement of 13-year-olds. Performance assessments were used as part of the overall assessment in four countries (England, Scotland, Soviet Union, and Taiwan) and five Canadian provinces. The performance assessment approach drew heavily on the…
